Jungian analyst, teacher and writer Ginette Paris fell into an empty swimming pool at the age of 55. Traumatic brain injury, painful days in intensive care, long rehabilitation. These events became a watershed for her, forced her to relive the most painful and traumatic moments of her life, from early childhood. These experiences prompted Ginette Paris to write an amazing book. She brings together personal experience, stories from her psychological practice and reflections on the future of psychotherapy. Considering different models of therapy, the author shows how the development of medicine and neuroscience makes it necessary to look for a biological basis (for example, disorders in the structure of the brain) for each psychological problem, and analyzes the natural attempts to treat grief, mental pain, personality crisis or unhappy love with the help of pharmacological drugs. The book challenges many traditional ideas about the unconscious and reveals much about the secret fears and neuroses of the man of our era.
